This magical interface will let you copy and paste the real world into your computer — from fastcompany.com by Mark Wilson
Wowza.
Excerpt:
But a new smartphone and desktop app coming from Cyril Diagne, an artist-in-residence at Google, greatly simplifies the process. Called AR Copy Paste, it can literally take a photo of a plant, mug, person, newspaper—whatever—on your phone, then, through a magical bit of UX, drop that object right onto your canvas in Photoshop on your main computer.
…
“It’s not so hard to open the scope of its potential applications. First of all, it’s not limited to objects, and it works equally well with printed materials like books, old photo albums, and brochures,” says Diagne. “Likewise, the principle is not limited to Photoshop but can be applied to any image, document, or video-editing software.”

L&D in Lockdown: What’s taking place? — from modernworkplacelearning.com by Jane Hart
Excerpt:
So what are L&D doing differently?
Zoom is still being used to power virtual sessions, but L&D folk are using different formats than traditional training, e.g.
- leaders’ talk shows
- virtual interactive sessions for staff to share how they are doing, what has inspired them, energised them, what they are learning and they will take into the future.
- virtual coaching to support people managing change and virtual working.
- 30-min “pop up” trainings on simple, urgent topics like MS Teams
Others in L&D are experimenting with new (for them) formats, e.g.
- book summaries and podcasts
- weekly newsletters on key topics, mostly to create faster distribution channels
- converting face to face items to virtual offerings in various forms, accelerating online access and remote learning campaigns
- curation of internal and external content
- experimenting with creative practice via an online platform (eg simple drawing exercises designed to help people learn, engage, relax, talk, draw, experiment)
- taking the time to reflect and make a better learning experience? Running things online that people said couldn’t be done virtually.

Making Waves — from provideocoalition.com by Woody Woodhall
Interview with Midge Costin
Excerpt:
Making Waves – The Art of Cinematic Sound, is an outstanding achievement not only as a stand-alone documentary film, but also as one of the only films that is dedicated solely to the art of sound for film. As we all know, when films started, sound was either done live with musical accompaniment or was simply exhibited silently.
It is a huge challenge to tackle such a wide ranging and meaningful advancement for film storytelling and yet undeterred, Midge Costin, herself a working sound professional, took it on. We spoke at length about her work on the film and her work as a filmmaker with sound, and as an educator.
